8 of 9 Custody Transfer Or***ce Metering Skids — dispatched on schedule for the hashtag .
Part of the hashtag programme, bringing natural gas to eight states across India's North-East — one of the country's flagship energy-infrastructure projects.
Project: EIN25001-09 | 2-Year Annual Rate Contract | End User: Indradhanush Gas Grid Limited | Consultant/PMC: MECON Limited, India | Location: Assam and Tripura
Each skid is a complete hashtag custody transfer package or***ce metering to AGA-3, 12" 600 # inlet/outlet, 92 kg/cm² design pressure, flow range 25,000 to 300,000 SCMD. The package integrates the filter & scrubber, gas chromatograph, hydrocarbon & water dew-point analysers, AGA-compliant flow computer, & control panel on a single skid.
The core measurement chain is anchored on the TEK-DP 1610A or***ce meter runs from our technology principal Tek-Trol LLCTekTrol LLC, USA. The hydrocarbon/ water dew-point analysers are from Vympel GmbH. These — together with the DP, pressure & temperature transmitters, FC and the GC — are integrated on the skid to deliver a fully corrected, energy-basis hashtag measurement to IGGL's requirements.
For EMPL, this ARC is also a proof point for our localisation roadmap - Tek-Trol / TekDPro DP flow solutions, India-engineered skid integration, and PSU-grade QA/QC documentation, all delivered under a single contract.
A note on what this milestone actually represents: Eight skids through FAT & dispatched on an ARC schedule is an engineering & delivery-discipline story as much as a fabrication one. Or***ce metering to AGA-3 remains the benchmark for trunk-line gas custody transfer — auditable, proven, & accepted by every PSU & PNGRB. But where the measurement actually lives or dies is in the details most people don't see: meter tube straight runs, β-ratio selection, or***ce plate finish to ISO spec, and FC configuration. Getting nine of these through design, engineering, fabrication, assembly and FAT — in sequence, on schedule, on an ARC — is the harder engineering and project-management challenge, & the one that separates a fabricator from a metering systems integrator. For our customers, that is the difference between a skid that works on day one & a metering system that holds its uncertainty budget for the life of the pipeline.
Acknowledgement to MECON Limited, India for the PMC rigour on project executions including drawings, ITP & FAT witnessing, and to IGGL for a demanding but well-run project cadence. The North-East Gas Grid is a project of national consequence — the standards expected of every vendor reflect that.
